east coast? maybe piping plovers.

If its east coast like MA its piping plovers or least terns. Or those are the most common endangered beach nesters around the MA coast atleast
Let's say the zombie invasion actually happens (hurr I know, let's just play imaginary scenario for a moment), and you manage to survive the initial panic and make your way into the woods.
This ain't just a normal trip innawoods. What do yo do to ensure your own survival?
You're safer staying indoors. Why expose yourself in the woods like that. You'll be obsessed with building walls and secure storage and then you'll realise hurr-durr you had a house.

>>1092196
I wouldn't make my way to the woods, I'd make my way to the coast, steal a yacht and find a island. Or at the very least, head for the local marina, steal a houseboat, and anchor it in the middle of the harbor.
Okay, this is a question for ultralighters
If you wish to do something with the minimum possible weight, it must be because you wish something to be easy as possible.
Okay? Okay.
So now let's have a thought experiment.
Pack 1 is 36 pounds
Pack 2 is 24 pounds
Pack 3 is 12 pounds
Route A is 15 miles
Route B is 30 miles
If you were to use route A to train for route B, which would be the most effective pack to use on route A, in order to make route B easiest, assuming you can use any pack on either route?
Is there anybody here that thinks training route A with pack 1, and then doing route B with pack 3 is the wrong answer? Please explain why.
WTF are you talking about. 12 pounds is heavy and 30 miles is nothing. "Training" to do anything endurance related with heavy weights to be able to do it better without the weight is retarded, which is why you only see fat people using shit like ankle weights and pretend military tardos using weight vests.
>>1092167
So you're saying pack 3 on route A to train for pack 3 on route B is better than pack 1 on route A to train for pack 3 on route B?
>>1092168
Use gear appropriate for the conditions and your needs. Stop trying to make things more complicated.

I know this thread is not exactly for this, but it is still a outdoors topic.
I can 3D print this guy's, how much would you be willing to pay for them??
they are axe bit gauges
*Bonus, in what angle do you prefer to have your axe in ?
I'd be willing to pay upwards of zero dollars on the second tuesday of next week.
Shits retarded, I'd pay you 20$ to never make another.
I wouldn't use even if it was free.
How are you measuring the angle. Combined or per side?
What natural products can be used has part of your hygiene routines? I'm talking about deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste and so on.
Before you start name calling, I'm not a hippy or hobo but I do want to gradually get away from the huge brand chain products with dubious health properties or politics I may not agree.
Thanks

You can make soap mixing lye and fat along with something with nice smell like lavander.
>>1092108
Wood ash and animal fat make soap. Soap can be used for hair/skin/utensils/etc. For teeth, use charcoal. Deodorant you make with coconut oil/shea butter, cornstarch/arrowroot powder, essential oil of your choice, and baking soda. Making your own essential oils is piss easy, I myself like roses. Assuming you can't/won't make deodorant that way, you could just slap some essential oils on your stankables or not give a fuck and void it.

Sound advice, thanks.
Anyone have any ideas about how to build and maintain a fire without being given away by large amounts of smoke?
>>1092073
Wood gas stove, burns efficient and produces less or no smoke.
Dakota fire hole, and do it underneath/near a tree branch so it diffuses smoke.
You don't need a fire
Anyone tried doing these exercises over a longer peroid of time who can provide any results or thoughts?
I tried this out slightly yesterday by going for a run/climb up the mountain and it feels great. Planning on doing this everyday at least before winter comes and it gets to cold

wtf is this bullshit. Cross fit meets neo-primitivism? So the guy took his shoes off, rolled around on the ground then did a bunch of running and jumping?
>The work out the world forgot
No it's just doing /out/ stuff. I hope this guy gets ringworm.
>>1092006
I think it's about agility and strenght training using your whole body and doing "natural" and different movements instead of repetetive motions you usually get with modern gym equpiment
what's the /out/life like in phoenix?

Are there legit careers in agriculture/farming that don't have illegal immigrant-tier salaries? Is it possible to get into farming if you haven't inherited a farm/land? Also, /out/ careers general, I guess.

How doable is it to hike 450km as a totally untrained coachpotato? I'm leaving for Kungsleden (in Sweden) the 2nd of Sept solo, what am I in for?
>>1091712
it's just walking anon, you start walking and you don't stop until you made it. Simple.
>You will want to bring clothes that will protect you from the elements to not get ill or die of the cold and the rain
>you might want to learn how to set up camp to not die in the cold Swedish nights
>you might want to bring enough food until you reach the next town to not die of hunger
>water should be plentiful but make sure you have enough
>Blisters on your feet can be super painful so make sure you start wearing your hiking shoes well in advance to break them in

Did anyone here ever climb mount kilimanjaro?
I have some mediocre alpine experience and i heard it isn't that hard to reach the peak with proper acclimation in a guided tour. Any advice or opinion?
>>1091563
I don't feel like getting Bomb of Peace'd 30 minutes out of the airport before I can even see the damn thing, sorry.
>>1091563
Worked with a guy who did it. Its basically a foot trail up. No mountaineering involved.
One guy in his group got altitude sickness and had to be taken down by guides.
It gets cold near the top. And roasting hot down the bottom.
>>1091563
A kid in my middle school did it. I didn't know him that well and never talked to him but I don't recall him any more athletic than other kids. Its a nontechnical climb so the only real issue is the altitude if you aren't used to it.
Do you guys by any chance buy milsurp?

Not if I can help it.
I've got a couple of items, yeah, but in general it's unnecessarily overbuilt, and only good for tacticool bushlarping.
Post the most difficult hike you've been on whether it be due to elevation change, weather conditions, or anything else.

Had it not been so early in the year, I probably would have died due to dehydration. At least I learned to never change your plans at the last minute

got blasted with altitude sickness at 13500 (nausea, headache, vertigo), but pushed through and made it to the summit, spent the entire time at the summit sitting with my head between my knees trying not to puke.

I did the same thing and holy shit it's grueling. Luckily I went in October when the water was flowing but the monsoons made it tough as shit
Do all self inflatable sleeping mats have shitty valves that start leaking after a week or two? I need something relatively compact (weight not an issue) that will support my tall, well-fed body. But these self-inflatable mats keeping leaking at the damn valve after a week or two of use.
How fat and cheap are you?
>>1090945
105kg. 2 meters tall. Previous ones were from 70 euros and up. Thermarest/Outwell etc.
>>1090944
Leaking from inside the valve through the opening or from around the valve where it attaches to the material? If the former, use a piece of potato or rubber clamped over it. If the latter, use some of the patch kit's glue with a piece of patch cut to fit around the entire valve.
This shits been a wake up call. What steps can I take to make my situations better in the event of a catastrophic hurricane in south FL? What equipment should I get?
